Combat will be a significant aspect of their journey, but the game promises to offer more than just battles. The sisters will face moral dilemmas and both external and internal threats, adding depth to their narrative. Despite the challenges, they possess unique abilities in the fantasy world they inhabit.

Paul Hellquist, the creative director at Stray Kite Studios, expressed the team’s vision for Wartorn, stating, “Wartorn challenges players to navigate the chaos of a divided world while finding purpose and joy in selflessness. We’ve poured our hearts into creating a game that not only entertains, but also makes players think deeply about sacrifice, survival, and the bonds that unite us.”

In addition to its engaging storyline, Wartorn boasts destructible environments and a dynamic combat system that empowers players with control over elements such as water, fire, and electricity. The game features a roguelike progression system that provides upgrades, new abilities, and items that persist across gameplay sessions. Players can also utilize a time-slowing mechanic to strategize during intense battles.

Prior to developing Wartorn, Stray Kite Studios collaborated with Gearbox and 2K on Tiny Tina’s Assault on Dragon Keep: A Wonderlands One-Shot Adventure. The team’s previous work includes creating minigames within Fortnite Creative.

Excitingly, Wartorn is scheduled to launch in early access on both Steam and the Epic Games Store in Spring 2025, offering players the chance to embark on a thrilling and thought-provoking gaming experience.
